"The Lord Answering Job out of the Whirlwind" (1825-1826) is a detailed etching and engraving by English artist William Blake, depicting a scene from the Book of Job. The piece showcases Blake's mastery of linework, as he renders the powerful, swirling energy of the whirlwind with masterful precision. The figure of God, emerging from the storm, towers over Job, who kneels in supplication, conveying the vastness and awesomeness of the divine. This artwork is a testament to Blake's uniquely expressive style, combining elements of Romanticism with his personal interpretations of biblical themes.
